Buying out a Brittania manufacturer in 1826, Henry G. Reed and Charles Barton (more famously known as Reed and his Barton) started producing sterling silver flatware in 1889. Reed and his Barton are best known for being a stickler about producing only high-quality items, and they refuse to dabble in lower-priced silver items. Crafted from tarnish-resistant silverplate, Reed, and his Barton's Plated Giftware is the gift that keeps on giving.
